How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 9 ÷ 100 = 0.09
- Multiply: 0.09 × 28 = 2.52
- Check: Work backwards: 2.52 ÷ 28 × 100 = 9%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 9/100 = part/28, so part = 9 × 28 ÷ 100 = 2.52. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =9%*28. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
